Shaas saar ceremony is mainly for people with gifts for the bride. I am not sure about the groom getting gifts from his buddies but lately Somali ladies have started bringing gifts for the groom as well during the shaas saar.

Yh not the older generation. But the westernised xalimos do.


I've given my share of lingerie lol

Am not coming to your wedding, sorry


But you know some people actually give the couple some money to help them with the wedding expenses

[Lamagoodle]

If you do not have money, why should you marry?

There is nothing that beats pens; try that and you'd be talk of town.

Lam, you know some Somalis, financially unstable, get married through qaaraan
